Event Details : 'L’atlas vs. Tanc' Attracted by the proximity of geometrical logos affixed to one another and to the street walls of the city, Tanc and L’Atlas met in 2002. Ever since, they have collaborated on modern art work posters that are stuck on the 3 X 4 meters billboards in the streets of Paris. Simultaneous to their street art project, they both also run a workshop.

Their individual oeuvres complement each other through the techniques used (spray cans on canvas), the predominance of linearity, the formats chosen for the art work, and the repetition of certain forms and motifs (particularly circles inscribed in squares). They’ve struck a unique balance whereby both artists enrich the other without collision and play off each other’s creative strengths. 

Their joint exhibition in New Delhi in January 2011 as a part of the Indian Art Summit, reveals the complexities of the "absolute modern" and offers a richly coherent insight into a vibrant narrative of contemporary French art.
